Neama Salento IGP Negroamaro
Product characteristics
This wine comes from Puglia, specifically the Salento peninsula, and is made entirely from the Negroamaro grape. The grapes ripen in a warm Mediterranean climate, and part of the wine ages in oak barrels, which adds a vanilla note. On the nose, you can detect black cherry, plum, and raspberry, accompanied by sweet spice, herbs, and cocoa. On the palate, the wine is round and smooth, with ripe black fruit, licorice, and a touch of vanilla. Balanced acidity brings freshness to its velvety texture. It is a choice for those who enjoy dry red wines with a deep fruity profile, well suited to Mediterranean cuisine.
Serve at 16-18°C after short aeration. The wine is best enjoyed in red wine glasses. It pairs beautifully with Mediterranean cuisine such as pasta with tomato or meat sauces, roasted lamb, or grilled eggplant. It complements aged cheeses like Pecorino and Caciocavallo, and enhances rustic dishes such as lasagna or osso buco. For a vegetarian pairing, try it with mushroom risotto or lentil stew.
